Department of Physical Education, BHU, Varanasi, Keywords: Doping, drugs, world anti-doping association (WADA), performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) Uttar Pradesh, India Introduction Doping in sport, defined as the presence of a prohibited substance or its metabolites or markers in an athlete’s sample, or evidence of the attempted use or use of a prohibited method, appears to be widespread (Pitsch. W, Emrich. E.). Performance-enhancing drugs are not unique to modern athletic competition. Mushrooms, plants and mixtures of wine and herbs were used by ancient Greek Olympic athletes and Roman gladiators competing in Circus Maximums dating back to 776 BC. Various plants were used for their stimulant effects in speed and endurance events as well as to mask pain, allowing injured athletes to continue competing (Landry, G.L. and Kokotaio, P.K). Doping has been around for centuries, but anti-doping measures first arose in the 60s, according to Dick Pound, former president of the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA). “Testing started at the 1968 Olympic Games,” Pound recalls, but the science was far from perfect. Eight years later, at the 1976 Olympics, East Germany won a suspiciously high number of gold medals—40 in total—with the swim team winning 11 of 13 events. The feat was whispered about everywhere, from the Olympic village to the global media, but it wasn’t until 1991 that the former East German coaches admitted to widespread steroid use and blood transfusions. Many of the athletes (a number of whom were teenagers at the time) denied that they knew they were doping. Some revealed health issues they had as adults due to steroid use—and a few were eventually compensated. The Chinese weren’t any good at swimming—until 1992. Then, all of a sudden, at the Summer Olympics in Barcelona, the women’s swim team won 4 gold medals. Then, at the 1994 World Championships, they won 12 of 16 women’s titles. Needless to say, people got suspicious. Sure enough, 11 Chinese women swimmers tested positive for di-hydro-testosterone at the 1994 Asian Games, and the jig was up. But when the team won only 1 gold at the 1996 Olympics, they decided to give doping another try…and so they were caught again before the 1998 World Championships. This time there were 4 positive tests and a vile of HGH in one swimmer’s luggage. Despite increasingly advanced testing, cheating athletes have slipped through the cracks—for a while at least—like Marion Jones, who in 2007 admitted to doping and dramatically gave back her five Olympic gold medals from the 2000 Sydney Games. Regina Jacobs, a middle-distance runner, competed in three summer Olympics before her career was ended by the dark shadow Correspondence Dheeraj Kumar Mishra of steroids in 2003.

Steroids are the drugs that often come to mind when we talk about doping, but doping also Physical Education, CDLU, includes on athlete’s use of other forbidden drugs (such as stimulants, hormones, diuretics, narcotics and Sirsa, Haryana, India marijuana), use of forbidden methods (such as blood transfusion or gene doping) and even the refusal to take a drug test or an attempt to temper with doping controls. The three widely used types of blood doping are: Blood transfusion Injection of erythroprotein Injection of synthetic oxygen carriers. Doping is defined by the IOC as the use of any method or substance that might harm the athlete, in a quest to gain an unfair advantage over his or her fellow competitors. The drugs used in doping often have detrimental effects to one’s health both mental and physical. In the short run these drugs improve one’s performance, but in the long run they can kill. Keywords: Prohibited, Steroids, forbidden drugs, Detrimental effects Introduction Historically speaking, the origins of doping in sports go back to the very creation of sports itself. From ancient usage of substances in chariot racing to more recent controversies in baseball and cycling, popular views among athletes have varied widely from country to country over the years.

    International Journal of Research in Engineering, Social Sciences (ISSN 2249-9482) (Impact Factor: 4.16, Volume 5 Issue 1, January 2015) Website: www.indusedu.org INDIAN SPORT: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS Sat Pal Assistant Professor of Physical Education, Govt. College, Chhachhrauli INTRODUCTION Sports play vital role in our life in many ways. They help people in achieving physical fitness and mental strength. Like excellence in speaking is music, excellence in movement is sports. Thus, sports encourage us to excel in all fields of our life, be it studies or job or social relations. Besides, the statement that “the battle of Waterloo was won on the play fields of Eton”, implies that sports help to develop a spirit of sportsmanship and inculcate lasting values including discipline, hard work and patriotism in people. But perhaps the most significant aspect about sports is that they are associated with morale of the people. Indeed, when India wins a cricket match, the whole country feels victorious. I would like to evoke an incidence in this regard. After dismantling the apartheid policy and repealing apartheid legislation, South Africa held its first universal elections in 1994. At that time, there were widespread tensions between „white‟ and „black‟ factions of the society. South Africa hosted 1995 Rugby World cup. The then president Nelson Mandela, realizing the importance of South African performance in boosting morale of the people as well as for racial harmony, supported his team passionately by meeting the players many times and being present in the stadium to watch all their matches. Consequently, South Africa won the Rugby World cup and in an iconic moment in the history of the sports, Nelson Mandela, wearing a Springbok Rugby shirt and baseball cap, presented Cup to South African captain Francois Pienaar.

Almost all countries of the world are making signi cant investment for the promotion of sports and games. Excellent performance in Olympics and other international sports events has become a matter of national prestige and pride and also an indication of quality of human development. India could perform well in certain sports disciplines like Hockey in the past. Some sports persons, through their individual brilliance, have also shown excellent performance in international sports events. The performance of India in the game of Cricket, with the stupendous public support and vast resources, is a milestone in sports in the country. But when we take an overall view, the performance of India in sports has not been optimal. Absence of sports culture, lack of suf cient facilities like quali ed coaches/specialists, sports infrastructure and inadequate sponsors to sportspersons for their training/coaching have been found to be some of the reasons for the sub-optimal performance. The National Sports Policy recognized the need to bring in adequate facilities for promotion of sports and games through various sources. The National Sports Development Fund was established with the view to address this gap.

  • Award and Prizes: July 2010
    Award and Prizes: July 2010 Perelman rejects award After taking a three-month timeout, Russia's math whizz Grigori Perelman has finally turned down a $1,000,000 prize he won for having solved a century-old puzzle. The Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) in March awarded its Millennium Prize of $1 million to the reclusive mathematician for proving the 106-year-old Poincaré conjecture, a theorem about the nature of multidimensional space. The eccentric Russian genius said the decision to give him the prize was unfair, as U.S. mathematician Richard Hamilton of Columbia University equally contributed to the proof. Dr. Perelman used a technique developed by Dr. Hamilton, to solve the Poincare conjecture. In 2006, Dr. Perelman refused to accept the Fields Medal, which is considered equal to the Nobel Prize .

Medical College, Davangere,Karnataka, India Received on:20-09-2011; Revised on: 15-10-2011; Accepted on:10-12-2011 ABSTRACT Compulsory drug testing was introduced in 1968 by the International Olympic Committee(IOC). Since then, several doping cases have been reported in sports competition world wide. Positive results are based on the detection of prohibited substances, their metabolites and markers in biological (mainly urine) samples supplied by athletes. In some cases, the evidences were not contested and athletesadmitted the use of banned substances. However, in other cases, athletes denied the use of doping to enhance performance and claimed to have inadvertently or passively absorbed the drug. Unfortunately, no current accepted analytical method is capable of distinguishing between a sample from a cheater and one from an athlete who was passively exposed to a doping agent. Athletes’ allegations have included the passive inhalation of drug smoke (e.g.marijuana) or the ingestion of food or products sold as nutritional supplements that contained prohibited substances. In the scientific literature, several studies have been performed to investigate the possibility of an accidental exposure being the reason for the appearance of detectable quantities of banned substances in urine samples.
